Since we wrote our recent article about English-speaking dentists in Geneva, we have had a number of requests via our website, to receive our list of recommended doctors and Healthcare providers practicing in Geneva, Vaud and neighbouring France.
As our readers know, we only provide information on businesses and services that have been recommended to us, or that we have experienced ourselves, so this list does not cover all medical practitioners in the region. For this you should consult a phone directory. However, if you want to find someone with a proven track record, indeed someone recommended to us by one of our readers, then you should ask for a copy of our list.
Going to the doctors and dentists can be quite a scary experience for many people, so it is not surprising that, even armed with a list of recommended practitioners, you may be tempted to put off making an appointment until the last possible moment. However, this need not be the case. Many of the professionals on our list have years of experience working with nervous patients and, indeed, one dentist on our list positively encourages them to visit her!
A new website has been launched offering great deals for pursuing cultural and wellness activities in Geneva and neighboring France.
Online since October last year, www.bewell-now.ch was set up by local therapist, Giovanni Boschetti, an independent practitioner with over 15 years of experience, employing techniques such as Reflexology, the Grinberg Method, Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Self-protection Tatout.
Asked why he decided to set up the new website, Giovanni told knowitall.ch, “Having worked in the health business here for many years, I can see that there is a vast range of original cultural and wellness opportunities for people living in this region. However, it is strange that the general public appears largely unaware of them, or is reluctant to try out some of the original ideas for self-improvement and growth that exist here. My goal with this website is to share this information with the general public and create a link between the local community and service providers by offering deals at attractive prices, which are more likely to tempt potential clients to try out new services. At the same time, I hope to support what I believe represents an incredible regional heritage.”

With around 400 entries, there was a fantastic choice so we would also like to show some that almost made it into the book! The first section shows the Winners, and the second shows the Runners-up photos and how they would have looked if they had been printed in the book.

Each of the winners and runners-up will be invited to see the next edition of Know-it-all passport ® 2015/2016 going to print - more details to follow!
A new English-speaking support group has been set up in Lausanne to help people deal better with the challenges of living with an alcoholic. The aim of the group is to provide support for the families and friends of problem drinkers, and guide them towards making healthier choices and finding happiness in their lives, regardless of whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not.
Part of the international Al-Anon network of associations, the new group has been set up specifically to help the English-speaking community, amongst whom there are alcoholics with families and friends, who are in despair, feel hopeless, and unable to believe that things can ever change. One Al-Anon member of the group told knowitall.ch, “We want our lives to be different, but nothing we have done has brought about change. We all come to Al-Anon because we want and need help.”
